NORDIC EXPERIMENTS

On the island of Skarø in the Danish South Sea, ice-cream makers Britta Tarp and Martin Jørgensen produce a gourmet ice cream with some very unique ingredients. Birch sap provides the sweetness and the particularly creamy consistency, whereas kelp is used to enhance the aromas. Current varieties include elderflower, vanilla, honey and maple syrup.
